[QUOTE="Round2it, post: 2754210, member: 52939"] You are absolutely correct about the 6.5 Sweed. The nice thing about most all these "new" cartridges is that the factory options are now making it possible for you to shoot long for caliber bullets. With faster twist rates tighter chambers, perhaps better metallurgy and all around tighter tolerances, we now have almost every rifle out there able to produce more precision than most of us 'drivers' can take advantage of. Ballisticly they duplicate many great, all but dead cartridges, of the past - as has been noted with the Sweed but they offer the ability to take advantage of much better bullets for reasons noted above. Take the 284 win for example. If the 6.5x284 hadn't come along I doubt any manufacturer would even be making it any more. Not because it's not a great cartridge but because they're produced to make profits and when marketing and proper support, ie proper bullets for example, fails, the cartridge fails. 280 & 260 Remington for example. Thank goodness for Wildcaters and bullet makers who are pushing the boundaries. [/QUOTE]
